In 2013, we acquired a majority interest in a variable interest entity which has had a significant impact on our results of operations. Because the completion of its audit is pending, we cannot provide a reasonable estimate of the impact of this variable interest entity on our 2013 results of operations, although we expect to incur losses from it.
